Hello
I had an old, big filling removed and replaced on #2. I can add an X-ray if necessary (before procedure). There was a small crack in the tooth as well which was fixed. The tooth was reinforced with ribbond. We chose this option because the dentist said an onlay would be about $1800 while this other option was half.
The dentist literally spent 3 hours on the one tooth. He drilled and then reconstructed it. That same night, I felt a since of anxiety, adrenaline, and heart palpitations which caused sleeping issues. It is now on week three and those symptoms have not gone away. The tooth is achy to heat mainly. Pain is 3 out of 10.
Can anyone give me some insight as to what's going on? Is there perhaps a bad allergy? Maybe just too much work? Dying tooth? All of the above?
The Dr is basically saying watch and wait. However, I've been unable to work due to sleep issues. It's not that I'm in pain, it's that I keep getting these adrenaline and/or cortisol spikes ever since I had that tooth worked on. It's really bizarre and I had to do an EKG just to be sure I wasn't having heart issues.
Please, any advice
